Agreed that A77 kit lens for sure much better-lah price also better for sure but why so susah getting an almost similar 16-55 range and not others? Sumore for potrait, fast focus & etc..easier getting one without adaptor and dedicated potrait lens wor? well my 2sen haha

But if want that adapter, why not a SAL50mmF1,8? isn't this the one for potrait to catch the 2yr old boy? haha..I'm confused now..using a zoom lens for portrait?

Yeah personal preferences.. I also like the flexibilty too for eg, I luv the bokehness of my recent purchased 50mmF1.4 antique minolta but that wan.wth 1.5X crop factor..everything auto zoom dy like the max of my 1855 kitlens haha.. Even taking a food also I need to go far-far till touching another customer at the back of me haha..

Anyway.. It will be a good selection esp those got the moos..to go for at least 3 lenses kua? - A flexi zoom , a good potrait (not the NEX pancake for sure haha), and a telephoto of atleast 18-200?

Yeah I think a 24mmF1.8 better bcos those 50MM having more than lifesize image furthermore wth NEX1.5X crop factor.. like what I experienced wth the ancient minolta 50mmF1.4 haha

Added on March 1, 2012, 12:03 pmOh noted.. but qouting that bcos NEX only having 18-200 at the moment lor haha.. Anyway, I also bought another ancient MF 70-210mm liao ..But the review I read dun looks good ..Atleast once that 70-210mm arrived..I'm almost complete liao ...Later when boring on MF, and godd xtra $$, probably go for AF..wth better coating & sharper images kua This post has been edited by stimix: Mar 1 2012, 12:03 PM

For real? only US$350???

Fail to update wth error msg. asking me to eject the camera but there is no eject icon. Damn..Will try again after fullt charged my battery. I think probably my battery level too low? 68% only?

Actually at 68% it's 3 bars wor.. Anyway, let me recharge tonite..Forgotten to bring my charger to charge now haha

Hmnnn.. din know using caplang ayam brand cable can cause error haha..Still an USB cable what?

Maybe true also..OK likedat need to go back & open up the box searching for the cable haha

How Muchi?

I updated but now I'm using the ancient manual focus lens rather than NEX AF haha

Haha The more you play wth the foucus esp u intend to get manual focus helios..that for sure will take a toll on your battery lor. the >430 shots on 5N probably on continuous AF without slowing down to focus..otherwise, even 100 also gone liao haha

Fast focus for sure no need lotsa power-lah..manual, you keep on focusing till the best & click..The time it took you to click, the powwer consumption for sure reduced ..Anyway, playing wth manual also very shiok wan ..after playing wth my Minolta 50mm 1.4 for a week now, Luv the bokeh although I hv to agree interm of picture sharpness, not as good as NEX AF

BTW..My comparison between a NEX 18-55 kit lens Vs Minolta 50mm F1.4:
SEL1855 NEX lens (Clear fast focus AF):


Minolta 50mmF1.4 (Nice bokeh but the focus object sharpness so-so- I think this is at F2 or F2.8 problem wth..MF lens - no exif data on F haha)

I think to get the best contrast & more juice from MF lenses, really need a steady hand or tripod all the way haha..no OSS kua..

Done. A day after somewan posted here days ago. AF abit faster but if using MF, no effect wan haha

I mean using minolta MF for sure no AF-lah but on 18-55 no problem-lah very fast

I will try later. My daughter playing wth the cam right now haha..OK..another comparison between NEX 18-55 kitlens & Minolta 50MMF1.4:

1) NEX kit Lens (F/6.3 )


Vs

2) Minolta F/1.4

Tried & tested. OK- wor. Nothing wrong wth the AF

Get raynox 250 by all means.. I regretting getting the +10 macro dy

I was like... on Optical trugger flash untill I found this:



Interesting indeed

Thinking to get the 30mm F3,5 macro lens..The cheapest I can get right now RM930..Uncle Chin can offer below RM900 kah haha
